That's your opinion and you are entitled to it, I have lived on a 400 acre farm near my whole life. I like the country and peace and quiet. I know it doesn't offer what you get in city life, but that is my preferences. Yes it is God's land, but I prefer it

If i were her, i'd make sure God included decent internet in the rent/lease. If God can kill thousands in "natural disasters" so easily i'm pretty sure he can provide fibre optic cables on his land.

God doesn't kill people...bad weather does....

and I don't think fibre optic cables are on top of the need list, that is on the want list.....
we don't always NEED what we WANT...

But doesn't he provide the weather? Or does he pass the blame onto his pal Mother Nature?

Speaking for all of humankind, this is how that breaks down:

Need.

Food
Shelter
Companionship
Sex
Wine
Boots
Music
Convertible cars
Dinghys
Internet

Want.

Beer
Sandals
Film
Sports cars
Yachts
Fast internet
Fibre optic cables

Staple food, innit? The use of the word "food" implies, at least, Marmite, proper British chocolate, curry and Yorkshire Puddings.

They work in the outskirts of Ottawa and I've heard reasonably good things about them in terms of speed, reliability. One thing I have heard is that their email system can go on the fritz at times, so you may want to use gmail, yahoo mail, or that email programme that teenagers love
